EPEL Issue #101 [1] has pointed out that our current policy for
stalled EPEL requests is fairly in-efficient and can cause some long
delays.
What do people think the process should be?
Here is an example:
* A packager opens a bugzilla requesting a package be added to EPEL.
They also express that they are willing to help maintain / co-maintain
that package in EPEL.
* A period of time goes by with no response
* They re-say that they are willing to maintain / co-maintain the
package in EPEL
* Another period of time goes by with no response
* They file a rel-eng ticket, that points to the bugzilla, requesting
appropriate privileges to be able to branch and build that package in
EPELX
* That happens.
* They then request branch, and build the package in EPELX following
normal ways.
This is just an example, but it's what I picture in my head.
